Gross. Couldn't they do that with Liz instead? I'd much rather see a Liz/Sam détente than another bs Franco redemption - especially considering his particular history with Sam and pregnancy

Absolutely. Storywise, it would mirror when Sam helped rescue Jake.

I feel like Jason doesn't remember he has two kids unless someone mentions their names or the word "kids." For someone who was dead/amnesiac for as long as he was, there is still little urgency to him being with his kids unless he has to be. We don't hear about him and Sam staying in nights so they can be with Danny, for example.

The kids are being written as plot points. It's not exclusive to Danny and Jake, of course, but I feel like it's really obvious when it comes to Jason. Like the writers think fatherhood would make him seem less tough and action-man-like.

They refuse to let Jason interact with Michael, Morgan, Joss, and Danny, and Jake is only brought out to prop Franco, so the show decides to give him another kid! Super idea!

And it's unfortunate because BM is actually really great with kids, IMO.

I could see that, Nelle as the Carly to Carly's Bobbie. 

And of course, Carly wouldn't notice the hypocrisy that she came to town to ruin Bobbie's life for giving her up, but in turn also gave up a child as a teenager.

Okay, I take it back.  Joss is not the daughter Carly deserves.  A girl Carly gave up for adoption, who comes to PC and does everything to her that Carly did to Bobbie when she hit PC?  That's the daughter Carly deserves.

However, I am not down for Nelle/Sonny.

Yes, Chloe Lanier's character is separate from that dayplayer who tried to con Carly.  She's going to show up during Bobbie's birthday party tomorrow, I think, which makes me think she has some secret connection to the Spencers which, again, makes some sense given her work in the anniversary episode, but I still wish she was one of Lucy's kids.

Havent watched or read the Episode thread in months, but I bet they make her a kid Carly had during her psychotic break AND Joss' kidney donor.  

Sure Carly was only off-screen for about a month between Bransford and Wright, but GH treats time like monopoly money.  

[Harmony233]

I don't think nelle is going to be Carly's because I think they might be teasing an Michael and nelle pairing.

You know, I wouldn't hate Liez and Not!Carlos. At least he seems fairly normal, he's a doctor, and his name ISN'T Freaco. Plus he may be able to teach her 'boysssss' something useful, like speaking Spanish.

[TeeVee329]

They'd be smart to test CarrrrrrrrrrrJoe around.  Shoving this actor right back into a triangle with Sabrina is so boring.

A nerve-racked Alexis prepares for an important hearing. Julian’s other baby-mama, Olivia insists on having her voice heard at the hearing.

Shut the fuck up, Olivia, this has nothing to do with you!  Gawd, they really have nothing for her to do, huh.

Quote

Franco tries to enlist Kevin’s help in getting a job.

Oh please oh please let Kevin tell Franco to fuck off.

[Oracle42]

Maybe this means Franco has finally been fired from the hospital for being both wholly unqualified and consistently unprofessional?

And because the story has been so poorly paced, no one cares. Not that anyone cared in the first place.

[TeeVee329]

A sneak peek with Nelle for next week: http://soaphub.com/general-hospital/general-hospital-next-week-sneak-peek-results-nelle/

1) They are definitely setting something up with Carly and Nelle here, with Carly mentioning her childhood and making comparisons between herself and Nelle and Nelle talking about wishing she had had siblings.

2) Seeing Carly acting cheery and friendly and interested in someone other than herself is rather unsettling.

3) Chloe Lanier looks a bunch like Tamara Braun in this clip.

4) I assume Monica is only involved in this because of Jax.  And I'm pretty sure this is the closest she's been in proximity to Sonny since it came out about him murdering AJ so I'm expecting to have some hateful things to say on Monday.

[Harmony233]

The fact that nelle is involved with Carly makes any interest I had in the character pretty much disappear.

[jsbt]

Jax knows Nelle is Carly's insta-daughter - possibly via some trauma - and got her kidney but hid the truth to spare Carly's feelings or something.

[backhometome]

Nellie cant be Carly's long lost anything she has to free Michael/Chad from Sabrina/TC.

GAH. There's no way Jax would do something like this. I don't care what the reasons are.

It's also ridiculous Carly has a daughter she doesn't know about.

[tvgoddess]

And completely and utterly ridiculous that they would give Sonny and/or Carly yet ANOTHER kid. How many effing kids do these assholes need? It doesn't make them any more likeable.

Yup. And it doesn't matter how talented the actors portaying the kids are, what they look like, or how likable they are, or how much they suck up to Sonny and Carly, it doesn't rub off on Sonny and Carly.

Darn it. Jason on and off amnesia needs to go on "on" so he and Nelle can sleep together.

[Chairperson Meow]

Soon, the town shall be so polluted with Carly/Sonny spawn that incest will be the only option.  Like, Michael literally only has Sabrina and Kiki or Darby as his dating options, as he refuses to realize he's a Quartermaine and above that garbage.  Now Jasam get another kid to ignore.  But AJ, the alleged alcoholic playboy, and Ned, the original playboy, get one kid each?  That's stupid writing.   I hope Chad leaves and runs far from this show, taking Matt Cohen and Chloe Lanier and Tequan Richmond with him and they never ever look back.  Shonda Rhimes needs to write them into Grey's or Scandal.  Anything.

The only way I'd swallow this is if Nelle is here to make Carly's life a living hell.

Such a waste.  Chloe Lanier and her pretty hair would have made such a great daughter for Lucy/Kevin/Scotty.

Yeah, but the retcon 20 years ago with Bobbie was just as dumb. And that led to Bobbie basically disappearing. So if this has the same result, the stupidity will have been for the greater good.

Lol my biggest problem with the Bobbie recton was that she spent years obsessing over having her own kids ect.

[Oracle42]

I'm pretty sure she thought Carly had died. I don't remember why Luke lied to her about it but I remember the scene where she confronted him.

 I don't think Bobbie really started to disappear until she got swapped out for MBE in the Stefan story.

Luke lied because he found out who Carly really was right after Bobbie caught her and Tony in bed. He decided it would be too much for Bobbie to find out her daughter hated her/slept with her husband, which, like, come on now, really. I think she'd rather that than think another one of her kids was dead. Great confrontation scene between Luke and Carly over it but it was pretty contrived Luke decided not to tell.

I get it though  . . . . Tony and Carly had already been broken up for a while when Bobbie found out. And Bobbie called her out on her shit then. She would have never said crap like "it was just AJ!" back then.

Maybe it's the place Lucy was trying to sell Morgan/Kiki. Ya know, the one that was like 'the brownstone from a couple years ago.' LOL.

I'm pretty excited for the Laura/Kevin kiss. It looks kind of adorable.

Also ngl I'm down for a Claudette/Griffin love scene. That could be hot.

LOL- you all need to catch up with the times.  That was last year's joke and Valerie has moved on from that introductory story - as have the other participants in that messed up piece of writing. 

Besides, Nina has been the only one really laboring for some nookie.  Emphatically #notsorry!

Now, seriously about this apartment.  We don't know where Valerie lives now; nor have we seen Curtis' place.  Guess we find out later this week.

Lol.  Watch it be a repurposed Haunted Star state room.   He should just have Johnny's penthouse.   Val lives with Carly, or rather where Carly lived with Bobbie.

I would think that if Claudette had anyone's kid, it was probably Griffin's.  Although it would not surprise me to see her trying to pass said kid off as Nathan's, in order to get at his family money somehow.  If the kid shows up in town potted in a plant, though, it's definitely Nathan's.

They've probably turned a supply closet in the building into the set for someone's apartment.  Maybe we'll see a janitor accidentally wandering into the scene to grab a mop bucket.  (Frank:  "It'll be fine, no one will notice.  We can't afford to re-shoot.")
